GoodRelations Searches delivered by
RSS 2.0 or Atom Feeds

For typical Web developers, it is still complicated to add content from the Semantic Web to an existing Web site. At the same time, most software packages for blogs, content management, and shop applications support the syndication of content from external sources via data feed formats, namely RSS and Atom. This tool helps to leverage the creation and consumption of e-commerce data from the Semantic Web via content syndication of search results in the form of RSS or Atom feeds.

Examples

Feed Examples for Products or Services

Let's suppose you want to search for camcorders. Then the content for a feed as gained by issuing a basic search looks as follows:

• RSS: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/1.rss
• Atom: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/1.atom

By using the extended search mode, we can restrict the above results to a price range between 100 and 500 dollars:

• RSS: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/2.rss
• Atom: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/2.atom

The results in the feeds above contain camcorders that do not have a image attached. We can filter according to results with images and additionally express:

• RSS: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/3.rss
• Atom: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/3.atom

Feed Examples for Shops or Stores

The following example feed shows information about a company with a company logo:

• RSS: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/4.rss
• Atom: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/4.atom

Some stores also expose their geographic positions, that can be invisibly embedded into the feeds:

• RSS: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/5.rss
• Atom: http://www.stalsoft.com/gr2rss/feeds/5.atom
